Lauren will be teaching her Moments To Remember Album - sneek peaks can be seen in the Gallery under “Retreat”. Cost $65.00 & will start at 9am. You need to get in quick for this class as there are only 6 spaces and they will go fast as its the most beautiful treasure!!

Friday Night Crop Update

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Hi Girls

Just a quick note to let you know that we have cancelled - for this week only our Friday night crop - 25th January 2008. There seems to be many who are away with it being the long weekend. Tonights (Thursday) crop will still go ahead - seats still available.

Thanks

What’s New This Week

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

I’ve just finished loading up the shelves with the fabulous new range from Basic Grey – Two Scoops, very girly, soft and sweet. Papers, Brads, rubons, Chip Board and more.

Also new this week:

Buzz and Bloom Chipboard – these guys have some really beautiful stuff (check out their blog link on the right)
The Entire Range of Kaisercraft Papers!!
Kaiser Square Rhinestones
Kaiser Rhinestones – Large Flowers
Kaiser Rhinestones – Mixed Flowers
Paper Inklings – Rubons and Papers

I suggest you get in quick girls – especially with the Basic Grey.

Well we survived the weekend at Craftathon, I’ve booked for next year but for inside where they have lovely cool airconditioning. Thank you to all those who came to visit our stall, it was lovely to meet so many scrapbookers from far and wide. A big hello to the girls from Tamworth and Port Macquarie. The Cricut was well used and love by all, I was driving it on my L’s and I think I did ok. I have to send out a huge thank you to my girl friends Stacey and Penny who traveled up from Sydney to help out, thanks girls – I couldn’t have done it without you – or laughed as much.

We have also started our Designer of the Month with Kayleen Logan being our first scrapbooker up on the board in store. I will be scanning her lovely layouts and adding them to our design gallery soon. Kayleen is a wonderful scrapbooker and able to do a variety of styles.
